At approximately 1800 hours on Wednesday 15-09-1999 I was at Garsdale on a lovely evening trying to put off the three hour drive home when Deltic 55009 ‘Alycidon’ appeared across Garsdale Viaduct with a Regency Rail Cruises Settle and Carlisle Discovery trip. At that moment I classed my Deltics some 17 years after they were withdrawn.
